the family guy

[mbreon 0]

Big fans of both, Family Guy is better.The jokes are far more consistantly funny on FG compared to Simpsons.While both have funny premises and plots, what really sets FG apart is the "random factor."  Chicken fight, probably the greatest 3 minutes of television history, stems purely from the comment Peter makes about not taking coupons.  This defining characteristic of FG, going off on tangents based on random thoughts or lines from the characters, is great.Add that to the amazing ability of FG to make fantastic references to pop culture (I still couldn't believe when the referenced the actress who played Louis Lane, LoL) that truely makes FG a great show.

While Family Guy might have a little more randomness now, check out the Simpsons circa Seasons 6-9. Especially in season 7, my favorite episode, "22 Short Films About Springfield". Very random. I can't think of any show in television history (besides Saturday Night Live) that has made more references, especially tongue-in-cheek ones, to pop culture than The Simpsons. It's not even close. Unfortunately, the writing has really gone downhill in the last few seasons, and Family Guy has easily trumped as the better show right now. In the long run, there's really no comparison. But if Family Guy can stay on for 3-4 more seasons and still be funny, then a good argument can begin.

I heard that they were only planning on mkaing at most 35 new episodes(after the 3rd season),so, unless I had false information, it's probably going to be like one more season.

And with me.Peter Griffin: Uh, what could me and you do together?[Lois giggles]Peter Griffin: Lois. You've got a sick mind.Lois Griffin: Peter, I'm talking about making love.Peter Griffin: Oh.

old school simpsons is hugely better than any family guy, this can not be argued.

'nuff said

[Homer has been thrown out of an all-you-can-eat restaurant for eating too much]Lionel Hutz: This is the most blatant case of false advertising since my suit against the movie The Neverending Story.Homer: So, do you think I have a case?Lionel Hutz: Mr. Simpson, I don't use the word 'hero' lightly, but you are the greatest hero in American history.Homer: Woohoo!Homer: But wait. You can't kill me for being Krusty. I'm not him. I'm Homer Simpson.Fat Tony: The same Homer Simpson who crashed his car through the wall of our club?Homer: Uh... actually my name is Barney. Barney Gumble.Legs: The same Barney Gumble who keeps taking pictures of my sister?Homer: Uh, actually my real name is uh, think Krusty, think, Joe Valachi.Louie: The same Joe Valachi who squealed to the Senate Committee about organized crime?Homer: Benedict Arnold.Legs: The same Benedict Arnold who plotted to surrender West Point to the hated British?Homer: D'oh! Lisa: I want you to shut off the logical part of your mind.Bart: Okay.Lisa: Embrace nothingness.Bart: You got it.Lisa: Become like an uncarved stone.Bart: Done.Lisa: Bart, you're just pretending to know what I'm talking about.Bart: True.Lisa: Well, it's very frustrating.Bart: I'll bet. Homer: [praying] Dear Lord, the gods have been good to me. As an offering, I present these milk and cookies. If you wish me to eat them instead, please give me no sign whatsoever.[brief pause]Homer: Thy bidding will be done.[munch munch munch]

I got two tick...Homer: [slams the door, looks heavenward] Why do you mock me, O Lord?Marge: Homer, that's not God. That's just a waffle that Bart tossed up there.[Marge scrapes it off the ceiling into Homer's hands]Homer: I know I shouldn't eat thee, but...[bites]Homer: Mmm, sacrilicious. Homer: Oh, Lisa. You and your stories. Bart is a vampire. Beer kills brain cells. Now let's go back to that building thingy... where our beds and TV is. [Homer can't stop the monorail]Marge: Homer, there's a man here who thinks he can help you.Homer: Batman?Marge: No, he's a scientist.Homer: Batman's a scientist.Marge: It's NOT Batman. [Homer sits down in the middle of the night to eat cheese]Homer: Mmmm. Sixty-four slices of American Cheese...[begins eating]Homer: ... sixty-four... sixty-three...[morning comes, Homer is still eating]Homer: Two... one...[Marge walks in]Marge: Have you been up all night eating cheese?Homer: I think I'm blind.
